Anyone's pregnancy going super fast?

I've never made it past 36 weeks so next Tuesday will be like halfway for me. I feel like there's so little time left and so much preparation to still be done. Which is making me anxious and overwhelmed and that makes me want to hide under a blanket.

I feel ya on it going quickly. It felt like to took forever to the first appointment and here I am at 16+ weeks. Having a 16 mo definitely makes it go quick. Luckily there’s nothing really we have to do to get ready, except mentally prepare 😂

I went at 36 with my first and 38 weeks with my second, so I'm fully expecting this LO (little one) to be early too. My older sister is having her c-section the 1st and I'll be around 36 weeks then so we shall see how close in age they will be

I'm almost 18 weeks. I feel like with my son it was dragging, and now I'm like, "anatomy scan, when?!?!" I don't have anything. I have stuff from my son, but no crib for new baby, no clothes for a girl, no mental preparation. I keep putting it off thinking I have time, but I have a feeling 40 weeks will roll around and I'll still be in denial. Lol.

I'm 19 weeks today..we haven't done a single thing...realistically all we need to do is move our son into his new room (which we need to paint, decorate, and buy a bed for!) and then just pull out all the baby stuff and clean/organize it..

But still..legit half way and I'm hoping to convince my dr to let me have him a couple weeks early if it looks like he's following in my sons path (DS was 12 lbs).

19 weeks tomorrow, and while I have no idea where the time has gone, I still can’t believe I have 21 more weeks to go... I’m ready for May!! (Except, not really. I have a lot to get done for work and haven’t gotten anything prepped for baby. This is #2 and I’m not really stressing that stuff yet).

This pregnancy is just flying by. We are having a little girl this time after 2 boys so we have no clothes or blankets really anything. We are waiting till around February to move our youngest to a toddler bed so we will have the crib for baby girl. And then start organizing her room we also will be having our baby shower shortly after so we will see what we still need by then.

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking things that are moving. At this point, he may be able to recognize an object after seeing only part of it - like his favorite toy peeking out from under a blanket.

Your 5-month-old: Week 4

At this age, about half of babies babble, repeating one syllable â€” such as ba, ma, ga, or other consonant-vowel combinations â€” over and over. A few will even add another syllable or two, making their sounds more complex.
